WlilllnR IXnte Century In Possession of One I'nmllj-. It Is a very rare thing In our changing American life, that a houso remains n hundred years In the poshasslon and oc cupancy of tho same family. Such, hoyr- over, Is tbe case of the ICclscy homestead In Whiting, Vt. Thn lnnd was purchas ed by the grandfather of the present owner and has passod from parent to son ever since. This homestead was probably bull In 1757 by n Mr. Justin. It has a large cellar with double wall. The house Is two nnd one hnlf storys In height, substantially built. Ezra Kelsey came from lilllingworth, Conn., In 1F07 and bargained -with tho said Justin for the farm of 13." acres with the house nnd other buildings for the sum of 12,500,00 cash In hand as the deed reads. The present owner hns the old deed In his possession. It was written the 4th day of May, 1507, recorded the 15th, witnessed by one Ebenezer Whcelock and Amos Stone. Ezra Kelsey nlso purchased a large tract of land on the west side of tho road of Benlga.h Justin, son of Oashum. Tho deed wns given May 22. 1S07. The last day of May he returnd to his homo In Connecticut, disposed of his property there and returned to Wilting In August. His fnnilly consisted of his wife and nine children, tho oldest child 21, tho young est two years of age. They arrived In Whiting August 10. They brought their household goods up tho Hudson in a sloop to Albany, thence I- a packet-boat to Whitehall. The remainder of the way tlmi rnmr with a team. Ezra Kelsey rode on horse back and around his neck he wor" a black sIIk handkerchief, as thit was the custom In those days. Conceal ed in the handkerchief wns a large sum of money. The children conslled of six daughters and three son. They nil lived to ma turity. The oldest daughter. Phoeba, owing to 111 health, never married, lived and died In town. Rebecca married Ashol Hubbard, jr settled in tho north part of the town. Clara married Calvin Hubbard, brother of Ashel; Mary mar ried Dearon Benjamin Casey of Corn wall: Charlotte married Deacon Oeorge Flnwer of IMrrlshvllle, N. Y and went there to live: Eliza, the youngest, mar ried Horace Needlnm of Whiting and went to Parrlshvillo where the two sis ters llve-.l nnd died. Among the Inter esting facts recoiled, Ezra Kelsey was a Revolutionary soldier, served with dis tinction through the war, was honorably discharged, received a pension several years before he died. His death acrur- red March 20, 1S40, aged Sf, years. He was burled beside his wife and sister, Mnry. In Whiting cemetery. Ills youngest son, Henry, kept the homestead and farm. In If 11, he made repairs on the house, re moved the gnmbrel roof putting a morn modern ono In Its place. He also re moved the old style chimneys with brick oven and fire places. Henry Kelsey died September 16. IMS, aged 01 years. His wife died thirteen months before and they are burled In the family lot In Whit ing. March 28, 1S71, Calvin B. Kelsoy. his son, came Into possession of the home stead and farm. In tho time he has owned It ho has mado extenlve repairs on tho house Inside nnd out, also the barns, built a new horse barn and too house, set out shade trees, a young orchard and all kinds of fruit. In pa-it years he did a thriving business with fine wool sheep and has always kept a dairy. At present lie has a tlno herd. The homo is one of the most sightly locations In town with tine view of the Adirondack mountains on the west, Green mountains on the east. Three years ago his health failed so ho has not been able to do hard work. His son Sanford J. Kelsy come home and has managed his fnthor's farm nnd business successfully. In this history four generation have heen represented, While peace and plenty thus abound. How can tho children know The hardships the fathers found One hundred years ago? Ye gardens nil your blooms prepare. Ye nrehnrds all your 'fruits, Yo springs jour sweetest waters bear, Earth yield your dalntlost roots, In memory of the stalwart men Who laid the forest low, And wrnsted homes from- woods and fens, A hundred years ago! A wild, unbroken solitude ny foot of mnii untrod, The grand prlmovnl forest stood. Fresh from the hand of God. Our grand sires came with axe and plow, They felled the forest tree; Where fruitful Holds are smiling now They broke the stubborn lea. They lay foundations firm nnd broad They tiullded sure nnd slow; We reap rich harvests where they sowed A hundred years nfjo! They built tho homes, they till the soil, Their flocks they watched and fed; By pntient earn and ceaseless toil They won their daily bread. All honor to the men of old, Who laid the forest low, And warred with hunger, want and rold, A hundred years ago! These great changes wrought show the tireless skill and homely work of man.

Greek's Life it Title of I.omt Opportun ities Mart-led Mndnnir lllnhnp In IlurllnRton They Soon Agreed to Part. While tho aged Mme. Eleanor Fletcher Bishop Nicholas, known as thb "Florence. Nlghtlngalo of America," has been striv ing to guln possession of what sho consid ered her lawful property and Is enred for by friends in her abject povorty, Lucas Nicholas, tho husband, to whom Bho was married secretly 23 yenrs ngo and who Is a descendant of the, old Greek nobility, is employed at the Grand View Hotel In Rut land. Nicholas's life Is a history of lost oppor tunities and romantic Incidents to which tho climax ciuno whon ho wedded at Bur lington in 1SS4 tho "Countess" Eleanor, a woman many years his senior. Ho talks but little of tho nffalr, simply saying that his marrlngo wns the result of a fit of pique and tho topic Is avoided at his re quest by those with whom ho comes In touch. Ho never communicates with his wlfo una his story is not generally known even In Rutland. A STRANGE LITTLE MAN. Nicholas Is a strango little man. In whoso face still can be seen traces of tho typo which made the great generals of Greece, but ho Inherits few of the quali ties that mado his ancestors a power !n that country. Ills big, black oyes flash. however, when he consents to tell tha story of his family, and ho talks quickly and clearly In a manner that testifies to the splendid education given him years ago by his fond father. Luc-is Iangdon Nicholas was born !ii Brooklyn, N. Y Feb. 14, 1550, and was the son of Anastatius nnd Caira (Ian- don) Nicholas. His grandfather, a Greek noble, a friend of Iord Byron, and a gen eral In the Groek army, which fought against the Turkish rule, was killed at tho siege of Athens, leaving a wife and two sons who were found by an American re lief party In the ruins nf their homo, the roof of which was blown In by the explo sion of a Turkish shell. During tho terrible siege food was scarce and the delicate mother, reared In luxury, crushrt by her husband's death, and her health undermined by privations, died In the nuns of hor rescuers. The relief party consisted of Doctor Rtiss of New York, Colonel Miller of Montpclier and Doctor Howe of Bos'ton. BOYS BROUGHT TO AMERICA. In tlie turbulent State of tho coun try It wns Impossible for the party to find the relatives of the children. Colonel Miller, therefore, adopted one of tho boys. to whom he gave his own name. Doctor Russ took Anastatius, the father of Lucas. Colonel Mlllor, brought his adopted son to Montpclier, wheie ho made him legally his son and hetr. Doctor Russ took Anastatius to New York, but never legally adopted the boy, who retained til,, family name of Nicholas. Anastatius was about ten years old when ho came to this country, but, owing to the untimely end of his par ents and many near relatives in the war, his exact :ige never was estab lished. The doctor gavo tho lad a good education, and later used him ns an assistant in teaching the blind at a New York Institution in which ho was Interest ed. Later Doctor Russ became physi cian for . tho Mutual Life Insurance Co., and his ward started out to mako a living for himself, Willie visiting his brother in Montpeller he met Miss Caira Langdon, sister of J. F. Lang don, president of the Central Vermont railroad. The acquaintance ripened In to love nnd they were married at Mont peller In 1S4S. They made their home in Brooklyn, where two girls and one boy, Lucas, the subject of this sketch, were born to them. ANASTATIUS PROSPERS AS BROKER Anastatius Nlcholns was employed as a clerk by the financial firm of Morgan, Drexel & Co., but resigned soon after his marriage, having been successful In Wall Street operations, and started In business for himself as a broker. Up to 1560, in the days of Stato banks, ho published The Nicholas Hank Noto Reporter, a widely known financial organ. Nicholas passed his youth In tho gny metropolis during the palmy days of his father's financial success, receiving a largo allowance and had every thing that money could buy. He was given tho best of tutors and an unus ually thorough education. His father In tended that he should become Interested In his extensive mining operations in Vir ginia and Maryland and with this end In view tho boy studied mineralogy for sev eral years under Professor Asasslz of Cambridge, Mass., nnd at tho Columbia School of Minos In Now York city. After completing his eduoatlon tho young man begun work as a clerk In his father's office at 63 Wall Street. He re calls that as a broker's boy ho helped to drive back a mob of frenzied ruffians from the treasury building in Wall Street dur ing one of the great Civil War draft riots. QUARRELS WITH HIS FATHER. At that tlmo the office force of tho entire street was armed with pistols and sur rounded the building, thus averting a financial disaster. When tils father bo came Interested In mining operations ho wanted his son to go to Virginia and look after his Interests there, nut the young man had no Intention of abandoning the life of tha metropolis for the desolation of the South during the dark days fallow ing the great conflict. He refused to abide by his father's dccls. Ion and was given tho alternative of going to Virginia or shifting for himself with out the generous allowance he had always received, A hot quarrel ensued and In a tit of stubborn rage the wayward son chose the latter course. Ho wus soon hunting for work and was obliged to abandon Ills course through lack of funds. Thiough the Influence of a friend he finally secured a position as a reporter on the staff of the New York Sun und did some work on tho famous trial of tho Rev. Henry Ward Ileecher. His services. It appears, were not a success, for he soon camo around to his father's way of thinking, they became reconciled, and he went South, FATHER'S FORTUNE LOST. Nicholas passod most of his time during the next fow ywtrs In Virginia, becoming a member of tho Ninth mi litia of that State and helping to quell several of tho reconstruction riots. During this time his father's health fulled, and, after losing most of his fortuno through unfortunate Investments, ho died.

Tho State of Vermont, says a St. Al bans special to tho Boston Herald, main tains three normal ,-iohools for tho tr.ilniiiy of teachers, ono at Randolph, ono at John son and ono at Cnstleton. Tho number was fixed at three many years ago, when Vermont had three congressional district', but for tho last 25 years thero havo been but two such districts In the State. Tho report for the fall term of 1900 shows that the total attendance at Ran dolph was C6, at Johnson r,9, at Castlton ICO. This makes a total attendance for tho threo schools of 230. Of this number only 40 were graduates of high schools nr aca-l-eles. There is much dissatisfaction with the existing method of maintaining three schools Instead of one centrally located normal school of a higher grade. In their latest report the commissioners definitely state that "the normal schools of Ver mont are maintained for tho sake of pro vldlng skilled teachers for our common schools. REGARDED AS ACADEMIES. It is argued that those who desire to tit themselves for teaching In most village or city schools must go to Massachusetts, New York, or some other normal sohools outside the State to get the needed train ing ami a certificate that will be accepted ns proof of the capacity required. It is also asserted that at least a part of tho normal school students are girls and boys ; who Mvo In tho vicinity of tho three schools named, and who attend as they would any ucadomy or high school, not with the ultimate Intention of teaching, but In order to obtain addition Instruction In a cheap and convenient manner. In UP3 the Vermont Legislature passed an act providing thnt tho normal behools nt Randolph, Johnson nnd Cnstleton should be continued until August, 1020. i TEACIIDRB ARE UNDER PAID. Tho normal school board complains of tho difficulty of getting nnd keeping good toaohers. Ono Instance Is cited of a teacher who was receiving JC00 a year being offered by ono of tho Massachu setts normal schools a salary of Jl.W, which, naturally, she accepted, Commenting on the small attendance, tho board savs, 'With thi. nresent .t. panslon In tho buslnes-s world, the prizes ' of business life nnd the Inducements to a business career nre too great to per mit energetic young men to enter upon n course of education having for its oh Ject the teaching of n district school especially when based upon a promise to hold themselves in readiness to do so for ihu y tin n iiitrr Krmiuik the bank on deposits of $2,000 at TnUSTliKII C.
